New Thundercats anyone?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Shouldn't Panthro be on bass? Or something?

Apparently if you don't get a bass, sideburns are the consolation prize.

It still looks cool. Why does size have to matter?

Considering there was always a whiff of race purity to Thundercats, I'm slightly concerned that the new storyline is about Lion-O's destiny to become king and how he deals with those who stand in his way (paraphrasing).

I want a Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors live action movie with Gary Oldman as Saw Boss (Oldman can play anything).

It's the internet. I'm sure if I looked I could find a website for people who want to have sex with post boxes. :o

It's a bit more than that though, isn't it? Looks like Cheetara was around at the point a lot of boys were approaching (but not yet into) adolescence. The "omg Cheetara was naked in the first episode" line comes into every reminiscing-about-Thundercats conversation.

Kind of like this whole fascination with yaoi among female fans, which I'm beginning to realise is not just a particularly vocal corner of the 'something for everyone' internet but more to do with a whole generation taking control of the fictitious worlds offered to them by a still male-dominated world and subverting them into something more girl-friendly.
